The Alpacinos have been together playing punk music for 5 years. Colin (Drums), Grunter (Guitar) and Eddy (Vocals) lived together as siblings for all their unfortunate lives, Davy (Bass) and Jamie (Guitar) joined the
melting pot later. They are based in Glasgow, Scotland.
WHAT THEY DONE?
The boys have played their brand of fast, filthy, party, punk at around 400 gigs all over the UK with a great response. They've enjoyed gigging with Capdown, The Step Kings, The Bronx, Da Skywalkers, Fallout 40, 999, Tuuli, The Selecter, Sona Fariq, and Groop Dogdrill to name-drop a few.
Before putting out their last EP Aw That Kill Yer Granny Music, the band were played a live session on Vic Galloways Air programme on BBC Radio Scotland. The Alpacinos have also received attention from BBC Radio 1, getting airplay on Mike Davies punk show The Lock Up and on Vic Galloways Session in Scotland. Jim Gellatly has continually given the band support by playing many of their tunes on his Beat 106 and XFM Scotland radio shows.
The band have produced 2 Singles and 3 EPs. They finished their latest offering "This Bag is Not a Toy" in July 2005.

"NIXA possess a quality that sets them apart from other front runners on the alt/rock scene with perfect dynamics and incredible song craft. They bounce between gentle and aggressive in a single beat, tied with soaring harmonies and mesmerising stage presence. This band will find themselves being listened to by a wide audience, no doubts in both the alternative and commercial rock scenes" TOTAL ROCK
"...done very, very well. Deep, powerful voice, BIG music and just the feeling that something very professional is happening -I don't mean in a clinical way, just in that way that, when you find out they're unsigned, it's a bit of a shock!" XFM
"The absolute epiphany of my weekend was London based Nixa. Everytime I see this band, I fall in love a little bit more. Their performance was stunning and it was definitely the climax of the night as things petered off afterwards. Their Biffy Clyro-esque style, gorgeous vocal harm
A big shout out to Moffat, hope all's good wi you. Finally got around to looking you guys up and pretty damn good. Keep up the good work. Take it easy Cat x

The intro is us beating a band called Glasvegas in a demo competition in 2005. where are they now?
